WHOLESALE EXECUTIONS
OF Converted Wesleyan Natives ON
Tonga Island.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-Advices re-
ceived from Sydney per steamer Mariposa
give the latest particulars regarding the at
tempted assassination of Premier Baker. of
Tonga Island. by converted Wesleyan ma
tives. A correspondent of the Syd-
ney Herald at Sava, Fiji Islands.
writes under date of Feb. II.
that Baker believed the attack on him
was meant to be an organized conspiracy of
the Wesleyans to overthrow the govern
ment. He sent for soldiers, and a large
number of mdiscriminate arrests were
made. Baker put the prisoners
through the form of trial, con-
demned them to death, and the
sentences were executed on the same night.
Before the executions were carried out the
British acting vice consul. w. E. Giles,
used the utmost eXertions to stop them.
Things were growing quieter when the
newly-appointed vice consul, P.B. Leef, az
rived at Tonga, and, after inquiry, decided
he had no power to interfere. The storm
again broke forth with redoubled fury.
Wesleyan mission college was invaded by
an armed mob, who brutally
beat the Wesleyans and wrecked
their houses. Mr.. Leaf was
again appealed to. but again
refused to lntercede. Among six of the
earliest who were condemned to death was
an ordained Wesleyan minister. David
Finan. man of the highest position and
repute. Six executions were to take place
the day after the departure of the
steamer which brought the above news to
Sava. Fiji Island, and thirty more the day
following. France and Germany havo sent
men of war and urgent representations have
hnpD maOa tn tho Xiii UnvnrpOr tO in tarfara
The Sydney Herald's special from Auck-
land, New Zealand, says: Further news from
Tonga states that the Wesleyans are being
mercilesslY plundered and maltreated by
the kings soldiers. The premier does not
anticipate any difficulty about the French
interference in Tonga, and is of the
opinion that German jealousy will be
aroused by the appearance of the French so
close to Samoa.

A STRANGE LETTER.
Which the London Times Accuses
ParmellOf writing.


LONDON. April 17.-The Times, as a
proof of its assertion at the conclusion
of its articles on ''Parnellism and
Crime" that it had further docu-
mentary evidence, prints fac smile
of letter signed by Mr.. Parnell and sup
posed to have been addressed to Egan to
pacify his subordinates when Parnell pub
licly denounced the Phoenix Park murders.
The letter fills one side of an Ordi-
nary sheet of note paper. and is in
strange hand writing. Yours very truly,
Charles S. Parnell." in Parnelrs writing,
is at the top of the other leaf The Times
suggests that the signature was thus written
so that it could be torn off if necessary.
The letter, which is dated simple 's15-5-S2"
without an address is as follows:
Dear Sir: l am not surprised at your
friends anger. but he and you should know
that to denounce the murders was the
only course open to u.s. To do that
promptly was plainly the best policy
But you can tell him and all others concerned
that, though l regret the accident of Lord F.
Cavendish's death, l cannot refuse to admit
that Burke got no more than his deserts. You
are at liberty to show him this and others
whom you can trust also. But let not my ad-
dress be known. He can write to the house
of commons
The Times says:
Mr.. Parnell cannot expect that q simple
reputation of the letter will have any weight
with public opinion. He must bring more
solid proofs to annul the effect of the dis
closure.

IN FAIR SHAPE.
The Crops Not bad OFF. Although
Suffering from DrOUth.


CHICAGO, April 17.-The following sum-
mary of crop reports will be published by
the Farmers Review this week: The cor
respondents from nearly every county in
Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio report that there has been no ade-
quate relief from the drouth and that high
and dry winds are causing steady deteri-
Grafton in the condition of winter wheat.
A certain percentage of damage has already
been done, yet, Notwithstanding the i'm
pending great injury which much longer
prolongaton Of the drouth would
effect, the general reports from the
wheat districts continue to be favorable
The pastures and the meadows in the
states of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are
already suffering very seriously, however,
owing to the lack of rain. In Edgar and
Hamilton counties considerable damage to
the growing winter Wheat is reported,
while the remaining Illinois counties re-
porting this week. while stating that the
average condition is below that of last
year, still report the crop in fair shape.
Reports from drouth injury are made from
Martin. Ohio and Wells counties, in In
diana, and in Carroll, Clermont. Licking
and Logan counties. in Ohio. The reports
from Kansas all note the pressing need of
rain, and the serious damage by the chnch
bugs is reported from Harvey and Labette
counties, in this state. The reports from
Missouri, while indicating the need of
rain, continue to make favorable showing
for the crop. Spring wheat seeding has
been nearly completed in Illinois and Iowa,
and is in progress in Minnesota, Dakota
and Michigan. The ground is reported to
be in favorable condition in Iowa, Dakota
and Minnesota for the reception of the seed.

locked the Jailer i'm a Cell.

From the Tacoma (W. T.) Ledger.
Good morning; will see you later"
said Prisoner John McGoyern yesterday to
Capt. Linquist as he turued the key on the
taller, which was on the outside of the
door, and left Capt Linquist prisoner
inside the big room of the Tacoma iail.
About o'clock in the morning Capt. Lin
QuiSt went into the room, as was his Gus
tom, and told McGovern to clean out the
stove McGovern did sO and carried out
the ashes. When he came back with the
empty box he noticed the key on the out
side of the door. He quickly turned it, bid
the jailer good-by. and walked upstairs and
out of the Jail by the street door into the
sunlight free man. Capt LinQuist was
dumbfounded for moment. but in few
minutes was released. BY that time Nc
Govern had put himself out of the reach of
recapture. Up to tate hour this morning
he was still rnnning at large. McGovern is
bad man. He was indicted by the grand
Jury for committing rape at the present ses-
sion of the court, and his case continued
till the June term. He is tall man, with
sandy mustache and hair and fiorid com.
pleXion.
AS soon as Capt. LinQuist was released
he procured horse and made vigorous
search for McGovern. but could not find
him. He then promptly notified Sheriff
Wilt of the escape and forwarded his resg-
nation as iailer. The captain was over
come at the manner in which his seeming
carelessness was taken advantage of ty Nc
Govern. He says that a valise with cloth
ing had arrived for Frank Granville, who
was preparing to leave the jail, he having
made some arrangements with his cred
itors. He was keeping his eye Oh it, fear
ing, possibly, that it might contain a pistol
that Granville might pass to McGovern.
While doing this McGovern was going out
with the ashes, and when he returned he
locked the captain in. Capt. Linquist has
always been looked upon as careful
officer, but it is hoped that he will see Nc
Govern later. McGovern and Granville
were the only prisoners in the Jail.

THE MEXICAN PRESIDENCY.
Diaz Likely to be Chosen for Another
Two Years.
An Irish Magistrate Shot--O1her For
eign Matters.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, April IA telegram
from the City of Mexico, dated yesterday,
says: The candidates for the presidency
are in the city awaiting the action of con-
gress. Nothing can be done until it is
known whether President Diaz is to be his
own successor. Congress is not making
any haste about it. There was not the
slightest reference to the subject in either
the senate or house OF deputies last even
ing. The sentiment in favor of Diaz con-
tlnuing is undoubtedly growing. Whether
the constitution shall be changed so as to
allow him to remain in Office two years
longer. so as to re-elect him. has been the
question. A committee has reported in
favor OF an amendment allowing re-elec
ton. This committee says that in the
opinion of its members two successive
terms of the presidency will not endanger
the republic by making it possible for a
president to perpetuate his power. AS the
members OF the committee are all promi-
nent liberals, their recommendation will
have considerable weight

A Duel at PestH.

London Telegraph.
A pistol duel was fought at Pesth yester-
day between Lieut.. Richard Wahrmann. a
son of the well-known deputy, and Count
Andor Szechenyi, son of Count Szechenyi.
who resides in Constantinople. Count An
drassy. Jr., was one of Lieut.. Wahrmann's
seconds. The conditions agreed upon were
twenty-five PAGES and five steps forward be-
fore firing, with thirty seconds to take aim.
If after two shots neither combatant should
hit the duel was to have been continued
with swords. Both dueliSts fired without
aiming and without taking advantage of
the faculty of advancing. They discharged
their pistols simultaneously, and imme-
diately afterward Count Szechenyi fell to
the ground, his adversary's bullet having
penetrated deeply into his breast. His re-
cOyery is doubtful

Mrs. CIeveland,s Good Heart.

Washington Letter.
During the past week Mrs. Cleveland has
seen large number of persons by special
appointment. strangers in the city for
whom their friends importuned this honor.
Few persons in making this request realize
the almost incessant demands of the same
nature which come to Mrs. Cleveland day
after day, and to all of which she accedes if
possible. When asked by friend which
plan she found most agreeable-that of re-
ceiving on two mornings of each week, as
was her custom during the season. or of
having no reception day. as at present-she
replied without moments hesitation in
favor of the former. AS it now is, rarely
an hour passes without some one tapping at
Mrs. Cleveland's door bearing card or
urgent request that she grant an interview
to party of strangers just on the eve of
departure. And it rarely happens that the
appeal is made in vain. for. however inter-
ested she may be in book or occupation of
any sort. she lays it aside, sacrificing her
own pleasure without demur This ready
acquescence in the wishes of others and
forgetfulness of self have done more to en-
dear Mrs. Cleveland to the hearts Of the
people than anything else.

CHICAGO, April 17.-Great changes are

many persons who have served under the
administration of Mayor Harrison are in
danger of decapitation. The detective de-
partment is to be thoroughly overhauled,
and the old men who have been instru-
mental in turning up some of the greatest

Chief of Police EberSald stands but few
chances of remaining in his present posi-.
ton. Although a Republican, he cuts but
little figure with the incoming adminstra-
ton, and it is generally conceded that his
days as heap of the police department are
numbered. Changes in the fire department
will be made. Chief Sweenie, who has
been in charge for years. has many seekers
for his position. Underwriters, however,
want him to remain. and have importuned
Mayor Roche to retain him. The pressure
brought to bear on Mayor Roche may have
some effect, but the wish expressed by
many is that he shall not be removed. In
other departments, where the vital interests
of the city will not be affected, changes
will be made. EX-Congressman John f.

Nude shoulders i'm the Cold.


Now, what is there in nude necks and
shoulders that they should have such
charm for royalty? 1t would be conceivable
if the mania were confined to pretty necks
and shoulders. But it is indiscriminate
The most scraggy or the most developed
necks of matronS seem to exercise the same
fascination on royal personages as those of

day because ladies had attended the christ
ening of his great-grandson in high dresses,
and on Friday last the exhibition of semi
nude ladies' young and old. in carriages on
their way to the drawing-room, and shiver-
ing in the cold, was a sight to excite not
only pity, but surprise at the poor things
being obliged to risk their lives thus use
lessly for their sovereign. The wind. we
are told, is tempered to the shorn lamb
But the freezing March blast seemed little
tempered to these lambs and ancient sheep.

A Human EIectrometer.
Providence Journal.


Apropos of the recent thunder storm, a
young man named William Chapman in
formed the Journal correspondent at
o'clock Friday afternoon that he expected a
thunder storm before morning. At that
time there was no indication of it shown
by the appearance of the clouds. the height
of the barometer OF the register of the cleo
trometer, but the boy proved true prophet
nevertheless. When Chapman was asked
how he was able to foretell the storm, he
said that year and half ago his fathers
house was struck by lightning and he was
stunned by the shock. The current passed
through his body and went out at his right
heel. which was painful for some time
afterward. On every occasion of thun-
der storm since then he feels, hours before
the time tingling pain in the heel, and
thus his prediction.

Sure Cure for Measles.
Galignani's Messenger, Paris.

UaIIEHdIII ; i'IeSSeIISGF, FHTIS.
One of the most remarkable pathological
cases on record has just occurred at Per-
igueax. A patient in the hospital suffering
from measles jumped out of one of the win
dows at O'Clock in the morning, and fell
a distance of four or five yards in the gar
den. He was at the time at the period Of
the strongest eruption. Awakened by the
pain caused by his fall he walked about
in his night shilt for some time, the ther-
mometer standing eight degrees below
freezing point, until he succeeded in walk
ing the concierge, when he returned to bed.
The next day his complaint had entirely
disappeared. This mode of cure, however,
is not recommended by the faculty.

ganized an open union under the title of

dian government expedition to the Yukon
country leaves here on Wednesday. 1t

tor OF the Canadian geological survey. two
subordinate members of the survey and
Dominion Land Surveyor Ogilvie. The
chief object of the expedition is to locate
and make preliminary survey of the gold
fields in Northern British Columbia. Strong
representations have come from mining
companies at Seattle, w. r., which desire
to acquire mining rights in the district, but
will not invest capital unless the Canadian
government gives them sure title. AS
miners are reported to be rushing into Can
dian territory east of the 142d meridian,
MessrS. Dawson and Ogilvie have been

Original and Capital Suggestions.

+. R. L. in Babyhood.
In these days, when caps, mittens and
overshoes are in such constant use, it is very
hard to be orderly, so our little folks have
established pound into which all stray az
ticles are put, and are only redeemed by the
owner paying penny. The money is sent
to the Fondlings' home. Their is great re-
joicing when the elders have to pay their
penny.
We also have been trying very simple
little rule at table and find our manners so
much improved we venture to suggest it to
other little boys and girls.
No one at the table is to ask for any
thing. but is at liberty to offer to another.
At the end of the meal each one tells what
he has gone without. After few times
the children grew attentive to each other,
ate slower and had pleasant little jokes to-
gether.
Whenever we forget and fall back into
the old way we notice the confusion at
once.

1.-THE Poet Tennyson's Home Life.
From London Letter.


Every now and then curious little stories
leak out about Lord Tennyson's life and
habits. Tennyson's home in the Isle of
Wight isa modest one; he has only one
man-servant in the house. but it is as COM
Portable and pleasant as most households of
the same class. 1t is the poets manners
and customs which give it its individuality.
1t is understood that visitors do not dis
turb the great mans ways, and that he be-
haves in precisely the same manner when
he has company as when he has not.
Every morning, in hail, rain or snow, the
poet dons his frouzy cap and his frouZier
slouch hat, and promenades for an hour or
so, none daring to disturb him.. Every day
at dinner a bottle of port is placed before
the host, and Tennyson retireS with it
generally when desert comes on). and
leaves his guests at the table, The poet
is to be found in his study with hi bottle by
his side, and huge dock-glass holdings
pint. This is filled half with port and half
with water, and the bard sOlemnly fills and
refills. till bottle and glass are empty.

violent article in L'Intransigeant. directed
against the pope. who, he says, sacrificed
France to Germany in the Chinese mission
question, and is now aiding in the work of
Germanizing Alsace-Lorraine. The whole
article concludes:
Ii most of our ministers were not known to
